Tesla Setup Planner
Tell us your model, your climate, where you park, and what matters most. We will turn that into a prioritized buy-first checklist and point you to the roundups and guides that actually fit your situation, instead of a generic list.

Browse every accessory roundup
Whichever Tesla you drive, every roundup tells you which model and year each pick fits. Teslas do not ship with all-weather floor mats, so a fitted set is the most common first buy.
How it works
How this tool works
The planner turns your model, climate, parking and priority into a buy-first list, because the same accessory can be essential for one owner and pointless for another. A hot, sunny climate with outdoor parking moves sunshades, seat protection and cabin overheat mitigation to the top; snow and salted roads move all-weather floor and trunk liners up; a garage-parked car in a mild climate can put organization first.
The priority question is the tie-breaker. Protecting the interior, organization, and road trips with charging each have their own top three, and the list shows the order to buy in with a line on why each item earns its spot. Each entry links the roundup or guide for that category filtered to your model.
Reading the result
How to read your result
Buy from the top down and stop when the next item does not solve a problem you have. The list is a priority order rather than a shopping cart; a mild-climate garage owner may only need the first three.
Every recommendation is by category with a link to the model-specific roundup. Check your generation on the fit finder before buying mats, console inserts or screen protectors, since those changed at the refresh.
FAQ
Questions people ask
What should every new Tesla owner buy first?+
All-weather floor mats made for the exact model and generation, a screen protector, and a charging adapter set for the outlets you will actually meet. Everything after that depends on climate and parking.
Do I need a sunshade if I park in a garage?+
For daily use, no. Keep a folding sunshade in the trunk for road trips and summer parking; the glass roof turns the cabin into an oven on a hot day and the shade cuts the load on the battery while it cools.
Which accessories matter for road trips?+
A mobile charging kit with the right plugs, a phone mount or tray that survives a Supercharger stop, a small cooler that fits under the console, and seat-back organizers if you travel with kids. The planner lists them in that order when you pick road trips.
Are the linked products checked for fitment?+
The roundups are sorted by model and generation, and the notes flag the refresh gotchas. Fitment still varies by seller, so confirm the generation in the listing before you buy.
